Can I remove Template:BLP sources in Alex Marquez wikipedia? Because @Balenciagah already update the career. Thanks bro @Dieter Lloyd Wexler. MotoFan9373 (talk) 05:20, 17 July 2026 (UTC) Reply
- Btw, I already make edit at Finnish motorcycle Grand Prix wikipedia. Can you help me check if my revision edit already true? @Dieter Lloyd Wexler. Thanks 🙏. MotoFan9373 (talk) 10:50, 20 July 2026 (UTC) Reply
- @MotoFan9373 They're correct. Thanks for cleaning it up. Dieter Lloyd Wexler 17:15, 20 July 2026 (UTC) Reply
- Ok you're welcome bro @Dieter Lloyd Wexler. MotoFan9373 (talk) 07:04, 21 July 2026 (UTC) Reply
- Hello @Dieter Lloyd Wexler, I already make edit at 2024 MotoGP WC & Alex Rins wikipedia. Can you help me check if my revision edit already true? Thanks 🙏. MotoFan9373 (talk) 09:07, 21 July 2026 (UTC) Reply
- Both incorrect. He is qualified for both GBR and EMI so it should be DNS. Dieter Lloyd Wexler 17:09, 21 July 2026 (UTC) Reply
- Hello @Dieter Lloyd Wexler, I just want to ask. So, do you mean that for the EMI Grand Prix, we should look at the lap times from FP2 rather than FP1? For decided WD or DNS. MotoFan9373 (talk) 02:41, 22 July 2026 (UTC) Reply
- For any Grand Prix, we should look at the times for all of the sessions if they qualify to the Grand Prix, not just FP1. So say, the rider didn't set a qualifying time for both FP1 and FP2, but set a qualifying time in Practice (PR) session, they're still qualified for the race. WD is used if they didn't have a qualifying time in any of the sessions. Rins didn't set a qualifying time in FP1 of 2024 EMI, but he did set a qualifying time in FP2, so he's still qualified to race. Dieter Lloyd Wexler 03:01, 22 July 2026 (UTC) Reply
- Oh ok, thanks for your explanation. Great bro @Dieter Lloyd Wexler. MotoFan9373 (talk) 06:38, 22 July 2026 (UTC) Reply
- Hello @Dieter Lloyd Wexler, I mean, I revert his edit because it still WP:SOON. I mean no need to add first, wait the 2026 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season already finished, you can add it. It is better to add it later than now. It's still too early and too excessive to add this news. If you add later, the story is structured more neatly than you add now. I don't know how about with your opinion. But I just tell about my opinion and there is no intention to argue. Thanks @Dieter Lloyd Wexler. MotoFan9373 (talk) 02:49, 23 July 2026 (UTC) Reply
- That's not what WP:SOON is about. WP:SOON is about whether a topic should already be published into an article, or left in the draftspace (like Draft:2027 MotoGP World Championship). The 2027 page is considered too soon because there's no complete calendar yet of races.
- For the rider articles like Fabio Quartararo's, there's nothing that prevents us from adding the information of him signing for Honda for 2027 onwards. In fact, it should be added once information is available, or else his article would be considered outdaed. Dieter Lloyd Wexler 03:48, 23 July 2026 (UTC) Reply
- Ok MotoFan9373 (talk) 07:19, 23 July 2026 (UTC) Reply
- Hello @Dieter Lloyd Wexler, I want to ask, have you heard any leaks or rumors about the 2027 MotoGP calendar? Because I'm curious. Thanks. MotoFan9373 (talk) 02:05, 28 July 2026 (UTC) Reply
- Leaks and rumors about the calendar and Grands Prix are usually hard to find: people usually focus more on rider transaction leaks. Leaks and rumors aren't encyclopedic though per WP:SPORTSTRANS. Every information we add in Wikipedia should be official. Dieter Lloyd Wexler 02:11, 28 July 2026 (UTC) Reply
- Yeah, I know. Of course I don't add it in Wikipedia. MotoFan9373 (talk) 02:12, 28 July 2026 (UTC) Reply
- But, Do you know this link? https://beta.polepositiontravel.com/motogp/events/2027 MotoFan9373 (talk) 02:16, 28 July 2026 (UTC) Reply
- No, and I don't trust any random website about these information. I would only trust what MotoGP officially releases. Dieter Lloyd Wexler 02:18, 28 July 2026 (UTC) Reply
- If you're really interested in just reading rumors or leaks, you can try Crash (though they are kinda clickbait-y now) and Motorsport. Dieter Lloyd Wexler 02:18, 28 July 2026 (UTC) Reply

Hello Dieter Lloyd Wexler:
WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive in August!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than a month of outstanding reviews from the current 3+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 August 2026 through 31 August 2026.
You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.
Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.
There is a backlog of over 5000 pages, so start reviewing drafts. We're looking forward to your help! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:37, 19 July 2026 (UTC) Reply

Updates for editors
- The Reader Experience team has incorporated community feedback around the placement of watchstar and watchlist buttons for the Reading Lists beta feature, which would allow for saving articles for later reading – a wishlist item to bring the functionality to web. Editors are invited to enable the beta feature to test it out and share their thoughts.
- Suggestion Mode offers edit suggestions within the VisualEditor for improving Wikipedia articles. All suggestions are community-configurable. The TextMatch feature is a way for volunteers to create custom local suggestions. The feature searches in articles for strings of text, and now includes support for regular expressions. This gives volunteers greater precision and flexibility over the kinds of local suggestions they can create. Note: Suggestions can be targeted based on the edit count of the person editing as well as other aspects of the page. You can find examples from other communities for inspiration, including TextMatches that detect: typos, grammar-errors, potential advertisements, clichés, incorrect dash or hyphen usage, non-specific time keywords, outdated names, and more. Any feedback is appreciated.
- [画像:Recurrent item] View all 27 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, an issue where the SVG Translate tool could use an outdated version of a file, causing existing translations to be overwritten when new ones were uploaded, has now been fixed. Overall, in the last quarter from April – June 2026 about 337 community tasks were resolved by the Wikimedia Foundation.
Updates for technical contributors
- On Parsoid-enabled wikis, Parsoid now renders a maximum of 1,250 images per page. A new tracking category, "media-limit-reached", will be soon made available to identify pages where this limit is reached, making it easier to find content whose media output may have been restricted during rendering. See phab:T430854 for more information and to provide feedback.

Hello - Thanks for editing and improving basketball articles. Please be aware that player categories (teams and countries) are only added AFTER the player appears in a regular season or postseason game for the team. Please do not add these prematurely as you did at B. J. Johnson (basketball) with this edit. Thanks. Rikster2 (talk) 15:49, 25 July 2026 (UTC) Reply
- Sorry, looks like my mistake. It seems the player made his debut in the Philippine Cup. Rikster2 (talk) 16:02, 25 July 2026 (UTC) Reply
- @Rikster2 It's actually during the 2026 PBA Governors' Cup#Imports, the current conference/tournament, where he debuted. I'm a long-time editor here in WP so I know the guidelines in basketball bios, but still thanks for the reminder. Dieter Lloyd Wexler 18:39, 25 July 2026 (UTC) Reply

Updates for editors
- Wishlist item Content Translation now supports dark mode, fulfilling a Community Wishlist request. This brings the tool in line with the accessibility features available in the Vector 2022 and Minerva skins, helping reduce visual fatigue for users translating content.
- DiscussionTools' source mode and the 2017 wikitext editor will now offer autocomplete for links (
[[), templates ({{), HTML and parser tags (<), and magic words (__), making it quicker and easier to insert links, templates, and other wiki markup while editing. - The Readers Growth team has concluded its experiment with mobile page previews and will not roll out the feature. Page Previews are a pop-up bottom sheet that appears when readers tap a blue link, showing a thumbnail, lead paragraph, and an option to open the article. The experiment showed flat retention and negative indicator metrics, suggesting that mobile web readers preferred navigating directly to linked articles rather than using page previews.
- The Reader Experience team has seen encouraging early results from the Reading Lists feature, with 93% of participating users reporting that it was useful. Reading Lists help active readers save articles for future reading and support their learning goals on Wikimedia projects. The team plans further improvements before expanding the feature to more users.
- The Explore Feed Refresh initiative was tested with new and casual Wikipedia app readers. The refreshed feed helps readers discover new and relevant content. After a 10.5% increase in engagement with the feed, Wikimedia Apps team has decided to scale the Home Feed redesign to iOS with the learnings from the Android release applied.
- [画像:Recurrent item] View all 23 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, an issue where subject names in the Article Guidance feature were displayed with incorrect capitalization on French Wikipedia, has now been fixed. Subject names will now follow the correct capitalization rules for the language.
Updates for technical contributors
- After running several Account Creation Experiments to improve registration completion rates, a new version of the username field on Create Account has been rolled out. It includes a popover summarizing the username policy to provide clearer guidance during account creation. As part of this change, the messages
createacct-helpusernameandcreateacct-username-helpthat several communities have configured will no longer be used. If communities want to customize the guidance shown in the new popover, they can instead edit the following messages:createacct-username-policy-popover-bullet1,createacct-username-policy-popover-bullet2, andcreateacct-username-policy-popover-bullet3. - Later this week, the CodeMirror syntax highlighter will offer themes. The themes can be picked from a dropdown menu in the full CodeMirror preferences dialog. For wikitext, available themes are default, colorblind-friendly (previously the colorblind preference option on Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing) and no-highlighting. For code languages (i.e., CSS/JavaScript/JSON/Vue/Lua), there are several themes available. These same themes will eventually be available for wikitext, too.
- From now on, wikis can restrict editing in the "User" namespace to only the page owner and certain user groups. Read the configuration documentation to learn more.
